IMPROVEMENT IN FERRULES.

Spccilieation forming part ofLetters Patent No. llyl, dated September'V2, 1873 applic-ation iled February 11, 1873. t

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, OHARLEs E. GREEN and JOHN H. BoDwnLL, both of thecity of Newark, county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Ferrules 5 and we do declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters ofreference marked thereon and forming part of this specification, inwhich- Figure 1 is a side view of a ferrule combining our improvements.Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

This invention relates to that class of ferrules used upon paint andvarnish brushes to bind and secure the bristles; and consists in makingthe ferrules of corrugated sheet metal, such as brass, tin, or'otherlight metal, in one or more thicknesses, and soldered together,

which ma5v be done by imxnersing them in the solder.

The ferrule, bein g corrugated, imitates the twine or wire, and holdsthe bristles just as securely, and is much more durable, not so liableto give way, and can be manufactured at Witnesses OLIVER BRAKE, DAVIDCOLLINS.
